Reuters/AFP, Washington Egypt and Turkey reported on Saturday that US President Donald Trump has extended an invitation to Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to join a newly established Gaza “Board of Peace,” which would supervise the territory’s provisional government.
After a precarious truce that has been in effect since October, the proposed board is anticipated to oversee Gaza during a transitional period.
The White House claims that an executive panel has already been formed to carry out President Trump’s peace proposal for Gaza.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, World Bank President Ajay Banga, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan are among the panelists.
It will be in charge of important issues including investment mobilization, rebuilding funds, regional diplomacy, and governance.
President Trump formally invited President Erdogan to join the project, according to a statement released by the Turkish administration on Saturday.
At a news conference, Egypt’s foreign minister stated that Cairo was examining President Al-Sisi’s offer.
Tony Blair, a former prime minister of the United Kingdom, expressed his gratitude for being nominated to the executive board in a separate statement.
Blair congratulated President Trump for taking the initiative in creating the Board of Peace and pledged to assist Gaza’s rehabilitation in a statement given to AFP.
As Gaza moves from battle to recovery and development, the White House stated that the larger Board of Peace will coordinate international aid, offer strategic supervision, and guarantee accountability and openness.
In order to coordinate governance, security, and rebuilding activities in the region, the United States also intends to nominate a high representative and deploy an international stabilization force under the proposed structure.
Tensions on the ground are still high at the time of the announcement. A crucial need under the first phase of the ceasefire deal is that Hamas return the remains of the last hostage and agree to disarm.
Large-scale combat has considerably decreased since the October truce, but intermittent fighting and airstrikes have persisted, raising doubts about the likelihood of a sustainable and long-lasting calm in Gaza.
